My 9 year old kitty has had pretty bad gingivitis for quite some time now. It never seemed to bother her that much until recently. I've noticed she hasn't been going near her dry food for the last couple of days and continuously meows at me until I give her canned food (which she scarfs down)...

Thank you! I've been reading up on it for the last couple of weeks. My kitty still has some bumps on her chin but I will continue to treat it and hope that it stays managed. I started letting her go outside again because it's so hard for me to see her depressed! So far it hasn't gotten any worse...

I switched her ceramic/plastic dishes over to the stainless steel ones, in the off-chance that is part of the problem. It's coming up on 2 weeks now since our visit to the vet and it definitely doesn't look as bad as it did, but its still very bumpy under there. A few days ago it looked like two...

My cat has a bad case of feline acne right now too, and I still don't know what the cause is. My vet prescribed 4 different topical medications to put on her twice a day, as well as a shot of antibiotics that's supposed to last for 2 weeks. The vet instructed me to massage a benzoyl peroxide...

I've had her since I was a young teen and I had no idea how important dental care for cats is until about a year ago. I recently took her to the vet for a bad case of feline acne...

I'm glad to hear that his isn't serious. How did you figure out that it was caused by outdoor allergies? Did he ever get yellowish-orange flaky skin near his acne? I noticed some on Nika shortly after we let her go outside the other day and I'm wondering if it could be related.

Before we went to the vet I was using a ceramic bowl for her food and a plastic one for her water. After the vet told me that could also be a problem, I went out and got metal bowls for her. I am being way better about keeping them clean too. I doubt having the plastic and ceramic were doing her...

Background: I know this is going to be a long-winded post, but try to bear with me. My kitty is a domestic longhair, 9 years old, and her name is Nika. She stays indoors most of the time, but she likes to go outdoors a few times day, mainly staying by our house. She is the only cat in my...
